Roxanne St. Claire's Barefoot Bay Kindle World****

In Mimosa Key
for his brother Naughty Nate's wedding, Chase Ivory has a plan to avoid his
eccentric grandfather's matchmaking—hire someone to be his date for the week. A
beautiful and ditzy actress with no strings, and no commitments is just the
ticket for no complications.

Military nurse Lt. Cassandra "CJ"
Lawson has seen too much. All she wants is quiet family time with her sister.
Except, when her sister leaves town for a part in movie, CJ is left filling in
for one little job—cozying up to a wealthy jetsetting billionaire.

How does a
wealthy, overworked CFO at a Fortune 500 company find a man when every guy
she's dated is more interested in positions and power than in her? Cue the
violins for an Italian pizzeria owner from Philly with a track record of dating
disasters and a real desire for love. Both apply to PERFECT MATCH, a TV reality
show advertising cutting edge technology to pair up ideal mates. Matches so
perfect, the show guarantees a wedding before the weekend is over.

But when Elizabeth Ellis and Val Corelli arrive
at Barefoot Bay to star in the show's premiere episode, they discover the
producers' idea of a perfect match is a lot different from their own.

Sexy, single hunk JD Macalister never expected
to fall so hard or so fast. He's been burned by love—and a long-distance
relationship—before and swore he'd never get hurt again. But the blonde beauty
in the jade-green dress he meets at a friend's wedding isn't going anywhere.
Especially not out of his arms.

Samantha Duke can't take her eyes off the tall,
dark and dangerous-looking man she spotted the moment she walked down the
aisle. Their instant connection dazzles her. And once he reels her into his
grasp, she knows one night—or a hundred nights—will never be enough. But that's
all the time they have, one hundred nights before she leaves JD behind.

Josie DeMarco
moved to Mimosa Key three years ago to escape the scandalous heartbreak that
destroyed her life. She has a job and friends she loves on the idyllic island
off the coast of Florida, but her world is turned upside down when Tony
Granville seeks her help to escape the relentless paparazzi stalking him.

As Prince Anton Edward, heir to the throne of a
small European nation, Tony can’t lead a normal life with the responsibilities
of his title, and the constant scrutiny of his father, King Edward, hanging
over him. But when Tony is back with Josie, the only woman he’s ever loved, he
realizes he’s willing to give up his crown to be with her. What he doesn’t know
is if she would give up the life she’s made for herself to be with him.

Molly Waiter
grew up on the fantastical stories of sunken ships, pirates and lost treasure.
As guardians of lost Le Cœur Surveillé – the Guarded Heart – each young Waiter
is warned of the curse: the one who possesses the Guarded Heart will never find
happiness in love. Fine with Molly! Ever since the hurricane that tore through
Mimosa Key, she’s been off love and on the lookout for cash.

Bad boy adventurer Cooper Overton has been
hiding a big secret – he has half the map leading to Le Cœur Surveillé. He’s
determined to have Molly’s half, too, to save his tanking career. When the sexy
beauty turns him down flat, he decides to heat things up – with
seduction.

Molly’s determined to resist the gorgeous modern
day buccaneer. She wants all or nothing, and no sexy usurper is going to horn
in on her family’s two-centuries long quest. But how does she get the map from
the man whose touch she can’t forget? Will she become one more Waiter to lose
her heart? Or is Cooper her chance to find the jewel and break the curse?

Driven by
wanderlust and insatiable curiosity, Quinn Forrester views every new gig for
her mixologist business as another chance for adventure. Until the night she
wanders down the wrong hallway and witnesses a mob murder. After a week on the
run, lack of funds and few options land Quinn in Barefoot Bay where she takes a
job tending bar at the swanky Casa Blanca resort…and hopes no wise guys show up
to make her sleep with the fishes. But nothing whacks a low profile like having
your Navy SEAL ex-husband walk through the door—especially when he’s the love
of your life you left behind.

Wild on the Beach

Discovering his restless ex-wife at Casa
Blanca—and still going by his name—is enough to drive Lieutenant Commander
Jasper McQueen wild. When she ran out on their marriage, Quinn left him a
broken man. Now with his career in jeopardy and his sexy ex-wife at hand,
Jasper is ready to chuck responsibility and submerse himself in a hedonistic
affair—all sex, zero emotions—with the woman he won’t forgive and can never
forget. And this time, when they’re done, it’ll be Jasper who does the
leaving.

Wild on the Rocks

But a mob enforcer has tracked Quinn to Barefoot
Bay. With her days numbered, Jasper may be her only shot at living through the
night—if Quinn can get him to believe in her one last time.

His secret might
save the Super Min, but will the truth cost him his heart?

Tasked to bring a group of mom-and-pop
convenience stores under one corporate umbrella, willowy blonde Charlotte Oak
seizes the opportunity to secure her future...by any means necessary. But the
hunky clerk who refuses to sell the Super Min to her not only blocks Charlie’s
path to success, he forces her to take a good, hard look at herself. And she
doesn’t like what she sees. Self-made billionaire Josh McLean does, though.
When the golden-haired beauty struts into his Aunt Charity's Super Min, Josh
wants nothing more than to wine and dine the newcomer like only the head of a
Fortune 500 company can...until he discovers Charlie’s real purpose in coming
to Barefoot Bay will destroy the heart and soul of Mimosa Key.

Ambitious reporter Roz Melander can’t return to
her big-city career until she saves the struggling Florida newspaper her family
founded. But rescuing the Mimosa Gazette won’t be easy with handsome nemesis
Alden Knox in her way. Cynical after working in the tabloids and haunted by an
old mistake, he’s starting over at the upstart Times, covering the glitterati
streaming to the island’s Barefoot Bay resort. When a fishing boat blows up in
the Gulf of Mexico with a famous actor on board, both scramble to get the scoop
on why. Roz is in it for the news, and Alden’s in it for the gossip — but
someone will go to great lengths to stop either of them from finding out. As
they chase clues, they face another obstacle: their simmering attraction.
Working together against a dangerous enemy might be the only way to survive,
but can they get the stories they need when what they really want is each
other?

The last thing
Emily Proctor wants to do is attend her ex-boyfriend, Brad’s wedding. But if
she ditches the posh, destination affair, everyone will know that she’s a
coward—not to mention the fact that she still isn’t over the heartbreak at
being passed over for her former best friend. The only thing that could be more
humiliating than going to the wedding is going alone. No way is Emily going to
let that happen…

Chance McCall has been in love with Emily for as
long as he can remember. She was his first love, the only girl he could never
get out of his head. So when she asks him to attend her loser ex’s wedding and
pose as her fiancé, he’s more than willing to play the part. The beautiful
resort at Barefoot Bay is the perfect place to charm and romance her. But when
he realizes that Emily isn’t over Brad—and that Brad might not be over
Emily—Chance has no choice but to step up his game or miss out on a second chance
at his first love…

Forever

Me

Marilyn Baxter

A woman whose
touch can heal. A man who doesn't want to believe.

Family woes bring Jillian Logan home to Mimosa
Key, but she faces more trouble in her new job as a massage therapist at the
Casa Blanca Resort in Barefoot Bay. Right away she’s given a special
assignment: a wounded soldier who is a good-looking player with sex appeal and
who threatens to throw her delicately balanced life off-kilter. Sam Hartman,
AKA Hart Throb, views the beach as just another sandbox all too reminiscent of
the hellhole where he was injured. And the alternative therapies that Jillian
offers him? He considers them pure voodoo. He would rather move their relationship
off the massage table and into his bed, but as much as he wants her touch, it
forces him to face the demons that still haunt him. Can the heat of their
unlikely connection heal them both?

fake fiancée, Emma sees a way to have her week in paradise and begin healing
her broken heart.

his grandfather, Nino, might be in some serious trouble. Gabe will stop at

man…a broken heart.

the way undercover, get to know Gabriel Rossi, the hero at the heart of
Barefoot Bay Undercover.
